Assistant Project Manager

The onEarth Foundation, established in 2019, provides alternative ecological education by bridging art, technology, and science. Its mission is to share environmental awareness and embrace equity of all living beings by creating spaces for entanglement, co-creation, deep adaptation and wellbeing. 

The latest project, OASIS-2027 is a platform designed to raise awareness about environmental protection and seek sustainable solutions to systemic challenges related to climate change. It focuses on a common European problem of desertification and water scarcity, while raising transnational solidarity through collaboration and interdisciplinary exchange.
